Which Should You Buy?
Narcotic Delight is a bold, boozy cherry-vanilla powerhouse that divides opinion; some find it a sexy, addictive masterpiece, while others are put off by its intensity, synthetic vibe, or overwhelming sweetness. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
Scentleys' version of Initio's Narcotic Delight (2024) - the boozy cherry-cognac-tobacco seducer, softened into a sweeter, simpler cherry gourmand.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its enormous sillage and longevity, this scent is ill-suited for the office, where it could easily overpower colleagues. Its seductive boozy cherry and tobacco notes, frequently described in reviews as 'sexy' and 'intoxicating', make it ideal for dates and evening events. While leaning towards night-time wear, its opulent character also fits formal evening gatherings, but it's too heavy and sweet for casual daytime or sport.
Seasons
Boozy cherry-tobacco reads best in autumn and winter evenings.
Occasions
A seductive date-night scent, too sweet and intense for the office.
